Jonathan Elliott, Ph.D. is a recent recipient of a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Fellowship award to work at Dartmouth on methods for imaging of surgical specimens for residual cancer. This competitive award from the Canadian government funds his work at Dartmouth, leveraging the medical imaging systems and physician researchers working on breast surgical imaging. His focus in this project involves breast lumpectomy tissue imaging ex vivo, and designing an optimal imaging system and approach for maximizing sensitivity to the micromorphologic contrast which can be present.
